ROMAN LEADER FUMES AGAINST PROTESTANTISM TRIES TO ASCRIBE GROWTH OF AMERICAN ORDER TO PREJUDICE Msgr. McMalion Admits Organisation Is Made Up of Respectable and Decent Citizens (Special lo The Fiery Cross) NEW YORK. Nov. 24. Admitting that the Knights of the Ku Klax Klan are recruited from "respectable, decent Americans," Msgr. Joseph If. Mi'Mahon, a Roman Catholic prelate, directed a tirade at Protestantism because it would not undertake to assimilate Roman beliefs. Speaking under the auspices of the Roman Catholic Library Association, which "plants" Roman propaganda in the public libraries of the United States, he pleaded for a "rigid maintenance of a thoroughly Roman Catholic attitude." Not !;nlisiiol with attacking American I'rotestants because they did not wlh to recognize papa beliefs, Msgr. MrMalion attempted to prove that the I'lotcwtunt churches are losing followers to the Koman movement. Ilomnnlr.ing America Evidence that the Vatican Is still determined to "make America Koman futholic" may he seen In this state- ! merit made by Mucr. McMahon: "The j Kornan Catholic church will le the imji warn tn wnicn Americanism wwi turn in the not distant future." In one Instance, the Unman prelate spoke mere truth than he reckoned when he said: While friendly to Roman Catholic Individuals, they (Protectant Americans) look askance at the church as belnir hostile to American republican Ideals It Is for this reason they oppose so violently the open door of Imfnigratlnn. claiming that the Latin races are nassirnilable and their tendencies and aspirations arc inimical to American Institutions." ithr unwit'ing utterances by Msgr. McMitlion provide food for though, for I'rotestant Americans: It Is almost Impossible to convince the American non-Cuthollo (in other word, the I'rotestant) that the Roman Catholic church is tolerant." In ftomeN Own Words "The belief persists that if Roman Cm 1 holicism were In power, it would drive out all other religions." "While the (Roman Catholic) church docs not desire union with the t:itc, it nevertheless believes that a government controlled by Catholic Ideals would insure an ideal adminIst ni t ion." He declared that the growth of the Klan was due largely to prejudice Kinst Roman Catholics, falling to note that the American organization Is not anti-Kon an C itMolic but pro- - l'roteHtant.

(By John Eight-Point) THE ancient Greeks saw as clearly as any people that the end of the state was an ethical end that to make possible and to promote the good life was the business of political society. Their central idea of political philosophy was the doctrine of a philosopher-king an ideally-wise ruler. But they clearly understood that it was impossible to obtain such a head of government. Hence, they put their trust in other forms of rulership

Growing out of the reasonings of antiquity, the democratic idea evolved as a kind of survival of innumerable trials and experiments in government. Since an ideally-wise ruler might seldom or never bo found, the swing of the mind gathered relief in the assumption that what one head could not accomplish the composite head of mass consciousness might effect. The brightest dream of this theory was worked out at the inception of our republic and the result has been almost equal to the inspired vision of those who set it forth. Need Nuclei of Direction It has been a matter of common knowledge, however, that the people need nuclei of direction. The common consciousness is in eternal action and reaction, which may well ha compared to an ocean in stormy weather. There are thousands of currents and cross cnrrent3. A sudden desperate energy of a certain portion of the mass consciousness is apt to develop waves of thought that dominate the whole body of life and thought. Many of these-eur-rents that are known to be "adverse" are started by alien propaganda; more of them are under the control of selfish factions; perhaps a few of them emanate from singularly-sinister sections of the commonwealth. Recognizing these facts as a foundation, the Klan has sought to become a current and force in splrItnal and general national thought -which will connteract tho disastrous trends and tendencies in the whole body. There is nothing hidden or mystic in its purposes. And because these purposes are right and wise, the Klan has grown strong. Stanley Frost had a significant article in The Outlook recently. Not all of the things he held were true, but some of them undoubtedly were grains of wheat. Among the clearest and fairest statements of Mr. Frost the following stand out: "The Klan believes It has a solution for many of our current Ills of thought nnd of politics. It seems clear that the Klan Is now planning to broaden Its campaign and to draw Into Its ranks many who liave so far held aloof or actually opposed It folks who want reasons Instead of prejudices to back their actions. There has been an improvejnent in the caliber and seeming sincerity of the leaders. Many 0f the old ones have gone; those that are left appear ta have changed to meet the responsibilities that have come to them. They havl broadened In many ways." Mr. Frost closes his article with a remarkable anecdote which is repeated here for the benefit of those who have not seen the article: "Perhaps the whol5 situation as the Klan itself sees it can be summed up in a conversation

PROTESTANT URGES UNION OFCHURCHES Declares Solution of Nation's Problems Lies in Combining Beliefs roM'MBUF, O., Nov. 21. A movement to establish a united Protestant church has been launched by a prom inent member of the Klan. whose life ! lias been devoted to the advancement i of religious work. Although born and reared a mem ber of the Lutheran church, this man declares the jtijiy solution of America's problem is for all Protestants to unite. rle plans to take the matter up with leading Protestant church workers throughout the state of Ohio, and later, If response in Ohio seems to warrant, to lay his proposal before every Protestant denomination in the United states. "I have not as yet worked out the details of my proposal," he said, "but it seems to me that a united Protestantism is of tremendous importance in America, particularly in the crisis wblch we are now facing. 1 realize that there are differences of creed and that it would be difficult ; for some denominations to make concessions but, after all. vhn we looi: at It in a broad sense, these differi nicies are so trivial as to be almost childish. i "I do not recall any passage in the Bible where it says ihnt a Lutheran j which is what I- happen to he has any better chance of going to ; heaven than an Episcopalian, a Meth- ! odist or t lie member of any other! denomination. I believe that by net- : ; tint; the hrordr-m!nued men and j ! women of each denomination together : In a round table discussion, a plan j ! may be worked out which will unify i the Protestant organizations of the' ; country." USE OF HALL DENIED PROHIBITION TALKER w. C. T. U. Leader Accused of Being Member of Protestant Order ROYDKN, la.. Nov. 21. The recent meeting h re of the Women's Chris tian Temperance Union was marred by the refusal of the local Reformed church to permit the union to hold its tin cling in the church. This refusal was said to have resulted from the suspicion that Secretary Winter stein, a minister of the gospel, was h member of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, a I'rotestant order. A business meeiiig was held In the afternoon by the various organizations and resolutions were adopted and an outline for work for the coming year was jirzipared. It became Known, however, that they would not be permitted to hold the evening session in the Reformed church because the main address on the program was to be delivered by Secretary Winterstein, of Hawarden. An explanation was given that the Rev. Mr. Winterstein was suspected of being a member of the Klan. The speaker has been very active in prohibition work in this section of the State. RACIXR, Wis. A white gold cross set In garnets was presented R. Hammond, field representative of the Klan In Kenosha county, by the women of Kenosha County No. 9. They wished to show their appreciation, they raid, for his co-operation, advice and guidance of their order when it was in its early stage.

a Klan

overheard betweenhree of the high officers on the last day of the Klonvokation.

Three Different Views "'It's been a great time,' the first said. 'Folks said we were slipping and that Doc Evans had lost his grip. We've proved 'em all wrong. The Klan has passed its first milestone in great shape.' '"You're wrong,' the second declared. 'The Klan didn't even get started two yeats ago. We're starting now. But we're off in a cloud of dust. Watch us go by that first milestone two years from now.' " 'I'm not so sure, boys,' the third said, slowly. 'There's not enough of us yet that see the real vision of the Klan, and we haven't found out enough yet about what to do about it. But I do think we're about ready to go to the starting post.' " The Vision of the Klan It is only by vision that a great cause can strengthen itself to useful power; indeed it is-enly by vision that any principle, however great, can be brought to its full fruition. Those of us who have seen the vision and the glory are not likely to forget it. We hold hard to our dream and recall that wonderful but little-known bit of verse given us a few years ago by some English writer: "All ye, who would have wheat In years of blight, Cry out for visions in the night, For power to dream, and dream aright When, fair as dawn upon Parnassus' snows, Foam-born Aphrodite rose, What was she but a dream that froze? The dreams of Rome as thunderbolts were hurled, As eagle's pinions were unfurled, Until their quarry was the world. The Hebrews dreamed and bright with gold and gem, For Slon's brow a diadem, Stood Heaven's type Jerusalem. The Christians dreamed, and lo! their Christ, their Head, Whom waking wisdom held as dead, Comes daily to their altar bread. And not with sneers, but with the trump and drum Shall men announce that dreamers come, When they shall see of dreams the sum. Then ye, who would have wheat in years of blight. Cry out for visions in the night, For power to dream, and dream aright,"

SMITH FORCES SON TO REPEAT WEDDING (Special to The Fiery Cross.) F.XV VOI1K, Nov. 24. Civil marriage are not binding; the Roman Catholic Church decrees. Civil marriages are not binding At Smith, Roman Catholic governor of Kfw York, nko almost become the Democratic candidate for President, agree. So Al Smith, Jr., and Miss Bertha Gott, tv bo were married by a Justice of the peace, had to be remarried by a Roman priest before Governor Smith would give his blessing:. i MEXICO ENFORCING LAW ON RMIONISTS Government Aroused by Roman Catholic "Decorations Bars Missionaries EL PASO, Tex., Nov. 24. The meeting of "The House of Bishops" of the Kpiseopal church her heard reports from Mexico that were very discouraging. The Mexican government has become very active in the enforcement of its laws relative to religious activity. It seems that at the time of the Eucharistic Congress of the Roman Catholic church, held in Mexico City a few weeks ago, the people decorated their homes in Its honor. The government became furious and threatened reprisals. It is against the law to make any outward demonstration of a religious nature. The Roman Catholics give the credit for these laws to the Masonic order. In the face of these conditions the Kpiseopal bishops decided to postpone the appointment of a missionary bishop from their church at this time. Bishop Kinsolving, who has been a prominent figure lor many. years in the Spanish speaking coun tries made this statement: "If we invade Mexico now, we will be no better than the border line bootlegger of liquor, for we will be bootlegging religion in prohibited territory." The Kpiseopal church has carried on its work in Mexico for many years and has millions in church property there. This decision does not mean that its work in Mexico will be terminated, but it will comply with the law which was passed to stop the pernicious activities of the Koman Catholic church in politics. IOWA BRIDAL COUPLE WELCOMED BY FRIENDS DYSART. Ia., Nov. 24. The members of the Dysart Klan gave a Teception In their hall for Captain and Mrs. Donald G. Holley, who were married in Vinton at the Klan klonklave last month. About seventy-five members of the order were present. Mr. and Mrs. Holley were presented with a full set of silverware, engraved with the letter "T. K." for tho Dysart Klan. The presentation was made by one of the local ministers. Lunch was served and all departed with kindliest teeling and good fellowship. BLAST HERALDS MEET GREAT BEND, Pa. The first Public appearance of the Ku Klux Klan In Susquehanha county was held here when an evening meeting was held on the Hartford township fairgrounds. A heavy explosion announced the lighting of a fiery cross, after which a large class was Initiated. The excellent conduct of Klansmen In this jilstrict has spurred the growth of the order.

Vision JUNIORS STAGE BIG CIRCUS IN CHICAGO Boys Entertain High Officials Similar Shows Are Planned CHICAGO, Nov. 24. The success of the Junior Klan circus, staged at the gigantic Broadway armory here, has aroused interest In the organization's prog-am for the development and education of youth. Neighboring realms are asking C. I). Smythe, Junior Director of Cook County, for details. Many Junior organizations want to put on similar shows. Charles G. Palmer, Grand Dragon Realm of Illinois; A. A. Roessner, Great Titan of the Realm; the Rev. W. R. Evans, State Director of the Juniors; the Exalted Cyclops of the .Minimum Aian, .Mrs. palmerMrs. C. C. Hoover, Province Kleagle of the Women's Klan, and representatives from each of the city's district Klans, composing the Grand Dragon's escort, were the guests of honor. The Mammoth Klan band, the world's largest musical organization, conducted the musical program. The acts staged by the boys were noei anu entertaining, and showed careful preparation and training Among the features were: The "Klown Kut-ups"; a Junior's "Mock Wedding"; Rexo, in a 300-foot "Slide for Life"; Rhea La Zelle, novelty banjoist; "Cleopatra" in a "Snake Dance"; a tableaux, "Living Emblem of the J. K. K. K." ; a pageant; and the spirits of 1776, 1S61, 1917, 1924." There were also athletes, cyclists, boxers, "wild animals," clowns and other entertaining performers. "Black Patti" and "Annette Kelierman" presented professional acts that were well received. The ringmaster was one of the hits of the circus and his handling of the program was considered up to Barnum and Bailey standards. tASSERTS newspapers WRONG ORGANIZATION Presbyterian Minister ' Tells New Yorkers Order Has Right to Exist ILION, N. Y., Nov. 24. Declaring that the newspapers of the country are creating wrong impressions of the ku Klux Klan by not publishing the facts. Rev. E. D. Barnes, pastor of the Presbyterian church, recently delivered a serrr.on on the theme: "Has the Klan a Right to Exist?" The pastor charged that men and women are constantly violating the church doctrines and were more interested in worldly forms of amusement than they were in their church. The purpose of the Klan, he said, is to change the existing conditions which tend to destroy the religious faith of the forefathers, and to try to bring about better conditions by upholding everything that is good and for the betterment of the world. He further directed the attention of his congregation to the fact that there were 60.000 Protestant ministers in the organization. BL'nX THREE CROSSES McGILL, Nr-v. "Piery Cross" night was celebrated here and at Ely by the burning of three large fiery crosses. Ceremonies are going on here at regular intervals with large classes and plenty of enthusiasm. The man who is willing for lawbreaking bootleggers to stay, is in no hurry to see the Klan come to his town. ,

CONGREGATION

STANDSBEHIND ITS MINISTER FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH LOYAL TO JERSEY PREACHER IS Troublemakers Foiled in Attempt to Start Agitation Over Visit of Women's Order (Special to The Fiery Cross) JERSEY CITY, N. J Nov. 24. An effort has been made through the local press to embarrass the Rev. William Christie, pastor of the First Baptist Church of Durham, for permitting Women of the Klan to visit his church. The effort has fallen flat. Who has started the trouble Is not known. The Klanswomen had the official sanction of the board of trustees to appear in the church. Complainants appearing before the board met with a cooi reception, and a short one. Prior to the meeting, as is the custom of the Klanswomen, an Invitation had been extended to them to attend the church by tho official board. There was no come-back possible, even though press reports of the activities of the disgruntled indicate that there was great friction as a result of the minister's expression of appreciation of fie work which the Women of the Klan were doing. Reports Baseless An investigation of the reports appearing in Hudson county papers that there was a movement on loot to causeT:he resignation of the pastor, shows that the trustees are solidly behind Mr. Christie, as is the great body of the congregation. It was pointed out that the trustees hacLno authority to asK for his resignation Inasmuch as the selection of a pastor rested entirely with the members of the church. The trustees are not holding any snecial session to consider the pastor's attitude during his sermon. There are no grounds for all the reports other than enmity towards the Protestant organization. The Rev. Mr. Christie is a Canadian by birth and is not eligible for membership In the Klan, but he is in sympathy with the aims and the Ideals of the organization and, as a foreign born, he appreciates the American birthright somewhat more than do some of the native born. In his welcome to the Klanswomen, he did not cover his admiration for Klankraft and in this manner he may have offended some political dabbler or Roman Catholic sympathizer. Done Without Convent There is another aspect to the visit of the Klanswomen to the church. Some meddler took it upon himself to distribute campaign literature after services, which is absolutely contrary to the rules end regulations of the Women of the Klan. If these samo disgruntled persons who are making such an outcry to the local press take exception to the literature they have a perfect right to do so. In Justice to the pastor of the church and to the Klanswomen. they were wrong in condemning either of these for this action. It was done without the consent or the knowledge of either. Mr. Christie as a Canadian-born American was entirely within his rights to express his appreciation of aji American institution, if he so felt. The action of the board of trustees Jn inviting the Klanswomen to church (services was within its rights and jurisdiction. It is not the business of an outsider or of an unfriendly press to meddle with the activities of the church. The Protestant churches are not attempting to meddle with or dictate to the Romanists in any manner, shape or form. Neither is the Klan. It is only a very pro-Protestant organization, seeking only the welfare of Protestant and American ideals and institutions. "I wonder if they understand in America what an infallible pope means; that it means a hand stretched over Into the United States and laid upon every Roman Catholic citizen, imposing upon him the obligation to set himself up in opposition to the ordinances of your government, whenever the pope shall pronounce his judgment against those ordinances, on moral or religious grounds." (Dolinger, German Roman Catholic, quoted in Washington in the Iap of Rome, p. 253.) The Morning star (R. C). New Orleans, La., May 21, 1913: "We (Roman) Catholics start but with the principle that Catholicism is the only religious truth, and that man is naturally Christian and is bound to be so in order to save his soul; and on these grounds and for these purposes, we demand liberty whenever and wherever it is denied ns; but we object with all our might that it should be a necessary consequence or correlated obligation to grant the same liberty to those who oppose us."

Better Half of 'America

As originally written by Dr. Samuel F. Smith, "America'" was made up of eight stanzas, four of which have generally been discarded. The entire anthem was first publicly sung by children at the Park Street church in Boston at the Fourth of July celebration in 1832. The following discarded half" of the national anthem very well be revived: better might Oar glorious Land today, 'eath Education's sway, Soars upward still. Its halls of learning fair.

ROMAN SLEUTH HITS BUND NEWS VENDOR Detroit Boy Refused Right to Sell Papers Income Is Cut Off DETROIT, Mich., Nov. 84. All three of the Detroit daily newspapers, the Free Press, the News and the Times, it Is charged, recently refused to sell papcrB to a blind newsboy, who Is crippled and has no way to make a living. According to the cripple's story, he ueen eeuing papers for some mile, anu as ne was aware that a Klan paper sold well on the streets of Detroit, he added that paper to his list. He had not been selling them long until a Roman Catholic, who is a detective for a department store close by, came up to him and hit him a severe blow in the side. It is said the man then took advantage of the blindness of the cripple and took his papers from him. The patrol wagon was then called, but when the police began to question the newsboy thev discovered that he had dons nothing contrary to law and was therefore Immediately released. Since that time, he says, the dally papers refuse to allow him to sell their papers and his income has been entirely cut off.

ROMAN HATRED COSTS POLICE JOBS IN IOWA DES MOINES OFFICERS ABE DISCHARGED BY CIVIL COMMISSION Removed Because They Objected to Seeing Hierarchy's Flag Flying Above "Old Glory" (By a Staff Correspondent) DES MOINES, la., Nov. 24. Capt William Devies and Patrolmen Herschel Dunagan and George Dickey were discharged from the nolica force last week by orders of the civil service commission for their alleged connection with the coliseum flag incident. The commission found the officers guilty of a conspiracy to insult delegates of Roman Catholic Charities who were assembled in the city In Sepfember. The suspended officers were accused of having assisted Paul G. Anderson and Richard T. Pabney, Klan paper photographers, in taking a photograph on the roof of the coliseum of a Roman Catholic flag flying over the American flag. Following an investigation the city council suspended the accused officers. Safety Commissioner John Jenney later reinstated them and they have been working on the force since then, although they have not drawn salaries, the city council declining to approve their pay until the civil service commission ruled on their case. Don Allen, attorney for the policemen, threatens to carry the case to the state supreme court "if necessary." "The next legal step will ba an appeal to the district court," Mn Allen said. The real reason for discharging ths policemen is not because they insulted visiting Roman Catholics or were implicated in any way with the taking of pictures of a pennant representing the Holy Name Society flying over the American flag, but because, it Is said, it was an excuse to make way for political friends on the force. Issne Overlooked The Teal isBue involved, the insult to the American flag, was overlooked and the police shakeup created to cover up such investigation. It mattered not what denomination was assembled under the roof, for none has the right to place their respective colors over "Old Glory."
